g j*EKa happiness tn the m arkiaoe state. Unutterab'e happiness! which love Alone bestows, and ou a favour’d few. Thornton. The preservation of a husband’s love is often the most difficult, as it is always the most delicate do ty of a wife.— Gull. Our design in this little treatise is to en deavor to show that haziness is not o:ilv at-1 tendant upon the marriage state, hut that it is to be obtained by every individual who j :hooscg ULib yutiihimself to its pursuit. Hap- '' piness is not that shadow, nor is love that dream, which “the million” proclaim them to| be; both are real and substantial enjoyments, 1 —which every one has the ability to possess, al though but “a favored few” are blessed with them: this,however, is entirely tiic fault tf| the parties themselves, for though marriage is 1 . the road to happiness, there arc so many j broad and alluring paths that intersect it, that we are not surprised at such a number of individuals, who had set out with the bright- j est hopes, losing themselves by the heedless • j ■ness aii<l carelessness with which they pursu ed their journey. Our purpose is to make the true road more clear and by describing the duties of individuals in the relative situations of husband and wife, and exposing the errors into which they are ever so prone to fall pro duce a guide to that happiness which the young brule is ever so desirous to obtain. It has been represented, that what is de nominated “love,” is but a fanciful term for the fee ling of esteem, beyond which, they who hold this doctrine maintain every thing else to be but idle rhapsody, and empty nonsense: they consider that individuals may entertain a feeling of esteem for each other, which en couraged inay lead to a matrimonial union, the husband taking his wife just as he would a piece of furniture for the decoration of his house, and, very likely, with just about as much regard ! This species of Platonism may afford a very correct idea to its cold unimpas sioned disciples, but it is very erroneous ; tlieir feeling of esteem being found to exist no lon ger than the favorable circumstances that at tended the union endures. The matrimonial sympathy should be undying and imperisha ble ; it should maintain its pure and steady light through all the troubles and adversities of life, and expire but with its latest breath. According to Lady Morgan, “th - woman is unworthy of the Sacred name of u-ife, who is not prepared to follow the husband of her choice add her affections, to slavery, to death, oh ! more tfuin all, to follow him in shame—in ignominy i” ! “It is rare to find perfection in a single in dividual, 1 observes a popular mo fern poet ; “how much more rare must it be that two such individuals should meet together in this wide world, under circumstances that admit ■■of their union as husband and wife. Ap. r son may be highly estimable on the whole, nay, amiable, .ns neighbor, friend, housmate ; j in short, in ali the concentric circles of at-! tachment, save only the last and inmost, and yet, from how many causes, be estranged from the highest perfection in this ! The misery of human life is made up of large masses, each separated from the other by certain intervals. One year the death of a child, years aft, r a failure in trade, after another longer er short er interval, a daughter may have married un happily; the integral parts that compose the sum total of the unhappiness of life are easily counted and distinctly remembered, Th. happiness of life, on the contrary, is made up of minute fractions: the little soon forgotten charities of a kiss, a a nile, a kind look, a heart-felt compliment, in disguise of playful raillery, and tin: countless other infinitissimals of pleasurable thought and genial feeling.— ■Good men are not, 1 trust, scarcer than good tromen, and what another would find in you, you tn iy hope to find in another; hut w, il mal tha t boon be rariw the possession of which would be more man an adequate reward for the rarest virtue.” Such a desirable end is to be obtained, and self-correction is the means; we must set out with an unflinching determination to correct whatever is amiss in our respective dispositions, and persist in a thorough reformation of all those evil traits of •character which we possess, and which must be entirely destroyed befiue any pro-poet of .happiness may be encouraged ; no dissimula tion will avail, the knife must be applied to the root of our bad passions, no matter how acute the pain of such e radication may be, it is but temporary, and the reward will be a u-n --fold compensation; wc know that it is in ma ny cases the imagined .xAgzaPof such reforma tion that often prevents it; we' are too apt to think ourselves degraded in submitting to the opinions of others, and this principle of self- Jove dr conceit, isone of the most destructive to the happiness of the human race; we think our authority is yielded, or our 'Mobility of character destroyed in '“storing”—as the 1 word-is—-and the result is a pertinacious ad-! herenee to those bad traits of character, which j produce discord and dissatisfaction, the alien ation ot the affections, and the final unhappi-1 ness of those who had set out in life with the brightest hopes. Marriage is often considered the end, in- 1 stead of tiic beginning of excitement; in other! words, the parties cease to be lovers, when; they should take the character more fully up-1 on themselves. The feeling which precedes j marriage, ought, perhaps, to be called attach- 1 m nt, passionate attachment; or if yve yit id toj the popular opinion, and allow it the name of lone, it is certainly but the early blossom of that divine affection, which the Sequel too frequently blights and destroys. It may be considered ju the light of n rare and choice etcolic, thet had put forth its beautiful los-; poms, and gave premise of ripening into a 1 Tower of unequalled splendour, but filling! into the hands of ignorance or insensibility, is 1 too roughly ‘usied and untimely dies, it is; • arccly possible to obtain that perfect knowl edge of character and disposition during the period of courtship, which is gained after the nestic symbol Is placed upon the finger of the bride. We are blind to each other’s faults— passion hurries es onward, awhs-where we filly expect to repose our affections happily, we only find their grave. This is a subject, t h n.cver, that vve cannot at present enlarge upon, because the various branches into which it divides, would eaoh ifcjuim separate and dis- i t ....... f THE MACON ADVERTISER, AKD AGRICULTURAL AM) MERCANTILE INTELLIGENCER. Me have said that excitement ends, too'of ten,.upon the wedding-day; that after the “knot is tied, the parties- abate their endeav ors to keep the heart which .they had been s desirous ol winning. • Previously, no pains were spared, no trouble thought too great, to render ourselves more interesting, or more amiable in the opinion of our admirer; but, the object attained, and the individual our oirn, we become careless and indifferent, ex citement is destroyed, possession throws a veil over formernrdour, and finally twines the funeral wreath for love. Convinced that the object of your affections is your own, you be come cold and heedless, (lie little pleasures and gratifications are more allowed than de lighted in : you cease the attractions of mu sic, dress, and song, which rendered you en deared; and, when the cause is taken away the effect must perish with if. Your abilities were exerted to win a heart, and why are they not still exerted to retain it ! It is valueless Wore a stranger to say so, you would instant ly repel the slander with indignation—-why, tin’ll, do you use the prize as it it were really valueless, compelled by fate to lie endured, rather than bestowed bv fortune to be enjoyed! ‘lt is nature embellished by the advantages of art, ’ says the author of .a popular comedy “that men expect now-a-days; you may have all the qualities that can dispute your husband’s heart with any body, but the exertion of those qualities is too often suppressed. It ismucli more difficult to keep a heart than icin ear. — Alter the fatal words,‘for better or worse,’the general way with wives is to relax into indo | Icnco, and while they are guilty of no infideli ty, they think that is enough: but tiiov are mistaken—there is a great deal wanting an address, a manner, a desire of pleasing? Be sidcs-which, the natural temper must l>e forc ed ; home must be made a place of pleasure to the husband, and the wife must throw infi nite varic tv info her manner. Arid this 1 take to be the whole mystejy, the way to keep a man. “flow many ladies,' observes another pop ular writer, “heedless of the unsettled and fluctuating state of all human attachments, seem to consider, when they are wedded, that it is no longer requisite to continue those a greeable humours and graces which first won the esteem of tlieir husbands. The triumph of a woman lies not in the admiration of her lover, hat in tht respect of her husband: and can only be gained by a constant cultivation of those qualities, which she k .ows lie most j values.” The tempers of cadi other should he stu died, and oven “forced” to harmonize, and while endeavoring Jo correct our own faults, we should he indulgent to those of our part ner. Words and difi rrtnce.sare but the pre lude to greater discord, ami should never for an instant be encouraged. They are verv often supported from ,i strange perversity of nature ; we are too proud to vied I our opinion and to tins headstrong folly, both fall victims; passion is madness—opposition is worse. A sullen or sulky disposition is often per sisted iri; this is essentially bad, and must he eradicated altogether. If we would enjoy do inestic happiness, wo must destroy that ugly distempered demon which, while it annoys everyone with whom wc arc connected, is a hke tormenting tooursclves: how ridiculous it is to sit hour after hour, and (frequently) j day after day, knitting our brows and rc-fii [sing a kind word to any one around us, ridi cul and by some, and pitied, though disliked, by the better disposed.

States.” j We are not ignorant of the fact, that the advocates of the Tariff have attempted, to de rive the right to protect native industry, from another clause of the Constitution, which confers upon Congress the power to regulate commerce with foreign nations.— But as the present tariff is obviously intend ed to subserve other and very different ob jects; and as the power and protection which constitutes its most obnoxious feature, has taken shelter, not under the authority to regu late commerce, hut under the shadow of a ! j professedly revenue hill, we shall confine our I remarks to that clause of the Constitution tin der which that revenue bill has been passed. In our last number we attempted to show, that whether the clause in the Constitution quoted above, he viewed as a single grant of power, with its objects defined; or as contain ing two separate and distinct grants, the true question at issue must still remain the same. Wc do not propose to reason on supposed ca ses. The subject matter to he discussed is one of fact. Congress has passed a law, pro fessedly for revenue, and in so doing, has ac tually exercised tne right to protect domes tic manufactures, as an incident to the pow er “to lay and collect taxes, duties,” Ac.— Wc take tha thing as it is, and mean to rea son upon, as it is. We pass by, for the present, the arguments of the President in support of the proposi tion, that the power of protection belongs to j 'he Federal Government ex necessitate rei— or, from the nature of the compact. His ; views are certainly very forcible upon the subject. But as wc cannot concur in them, we shall in some future number give the rea sons of our dissent, and show that the Feder al Government neither has, nor can have, such a power at all, without supposing that this is exclusively a National and not a Fed eral Union. But this is a question of more general nature with which at present wc have nothing to do. What is an incidental power! In a gener al view it is some peculiar concomitant inclu ded in and annexed to some principal power, as accident and substance. Under the writ ten limitations of our constitutional compact, it is some “necessary and proper” means; some auxiliary, resulting authority, (if we might he allowed so to express ourselves) springing out of some specified power, with out the aid of which ho object of that speci fied power would be utterly unattainable, and the power itself nullity. ’This we venture to say, is a fair account of the whole class of those invisible creatures of implication, whose true nature has caused so much diversity and dissention among our leading statesmen. And yet wc cannot perceive any inherent dif ficulty in ascertaining their true character arid extent. The means of discovery are plain and obvious, and the process but the common every day business of the mind in all its operations. Take any specified power which has been given to the Federal Govern ment, and inquire, first—What is the object ot this power? For what purpose was it giv en ? And when this question is answered, then ask in the second place: What means are “necessary and proper” to he employed in order to compass this object ? To every honest and impartial mind, this rule, if ob served, would work out the answers, and give the true quotient of power. Let us take for example, the clause at the head of this article : “Congress shall have power to la v and collect taxes, duties, imposts, and ex cises.” We do not quote the balance of the clause, because the Federalists contend, that the latter part does not contain the enuincra-. ted object of the previous part, but that it confi rs on them another and altogether a dif j ferent power, without any limitation what.so. over, save that which may be screwed out of the words “general welfare,” and we are per-J fcctly willing that they should enjoy the full benefit of their interpretation. Now, as the concluding part of the clause is said to confer, of it self, a separate and sub stantive power, it will hardly be contended that it contains the objects ol the power con j‘erred in the previous part; unless, indeed, so little regard is had to the dictates pf com mon sense, and the ordinary import of lan guage, as to suppose that one written, speci fic! power, is conferred as the object of ano ther written specified power, in the same sentence. 8o that, according to this Fed eral notion, we are left entirely in tho dark as to objects intended to be compassed by the grant to Congress of the “ powe r to lay and j collect faxes, duties,” Ac. We must there tore appeal to the common meaning of lan ! guage, and the common sense of mankind,in order to ascertain what was the object of the grant. Were we to go to any honest farmer in e.ur neighbouring county of Bedford, and tell him that the Legislature had laid a tax of one dollaT a head on all his negroes, from sixteen years and upwards; hut that never- 1 the less he might not make himself uneasy, for the object of the lav/ was not to get his money, but to create a whirlpool in the Mis sissippi river; we should be surprised if he did not consider hunsell insulted, and treat us accordingly. But in so saying, we would declare no more to him than what the advo cates of the American System have said to t!i<* whole world. It would lie a needless task further to labor on a self-evident proposition. We have ab ready shown that the power “to lav andcol eet taxes,” &o. must have had for its object, money, and money fenly. If it were not so, why was the word “collect” used in the sen tence t Had this word been strickened out, and the clause left only with the power “to lav,” See. there mig t have been some shad- i ow to sustain a doubt, as to the object content -1 plated. Some vain toy for imagination to sport with. Some frail grounds for perverse j reason to declare, that the object of the grant j was a regulation of foreign commerce—or the protection oi domestic industry. But as it stands, Phyrro himself would say,“l doubt!” “To lay and collect taxes,” Ac. must mean, in common parlauce, to iaise money—to get funds for the National Treasury. When it is there, it is very easy to find out what is to be done with it. Taking then for granted, that one object at least, (and we ask for no other concession,) j of the power “to lay and collect taxes, duties, ! imports and excises” was revenue, we will j proceed to inquire what are the incidents to this express power ? What are the means “ne cessary and proper” to compass this object? Ami here the nature of the power, as well as the practice of all Governments, give us a ready answer. There must be custom hous es to deposit in. There must be appraisers to value—there.rnust be collectors to receive. Without these, “the taxes, duties,” Ac. can not be ascertained, nor secured. The-power then to establish custom-houses—to appoint surveyors of ports, appraisers, collectors Ac. is incidental to the specified power, “to lay and collect taxes, duties,” Ac. Without this auxiliary agent the principal power would be a dead letter—a mere nullity. Without it or some other equivalent to it, the object in view would he utterly defeated ; and so far as the revenue of the Government is concern ed, it had been as well, if the Constitution had expressly prohibited the exercise of the power in question. The necessity and pro priety of the incident, determine at once the question of implication. But it does not fol low, that because the power to establish cus tom-houses, Ac. is incidents! to the power “to lay and collect taxes,” Ac. that the pow er to set up spinning jennies on the Peaks of Otto, is also incidental—they would not “collect the taxes, duties Ac. laid on a cargo of broad cloths imported from Liverpool, and entered nt the custom-house in New York. They would furnish very little aid, wc should j think, in collecting any thing else but. tht* clouds; and their showers are not exactly ot die kind to suit Mr. Clay and his system men. They have in thorn rather too much of the j spirit of a Dana>, whose easy virtue could not withstand the yellow charms of seductive gold. ! TIIE TARIFF. The last New York Gazette reminds us of the fact of the augmentation of the Tariff upon the following articles: “Progressive Increase of Duty. —After the 3l)th inst. the Tariff' provides that the duties on the subjoined articles are to be increased as follows: Flax from 43 to 50 dollars per ton. He p, from 55 to 60 dollars per ton. i Indigo, from 30 to 40 cents per pound. Sail Duck, [of all kinds,] from 10 to 10] cents per Square yard.” . “A gatherer of unconsidercd trifles.” [From the Boston Courier .] 1 rue Nobility. —ln IS3G, two young com mission merchants of this city failed, aud sur rendered up their whole property to their creditors, which fell short of their debts and responsibilities, and soon after dissolved then business connexion and began the world anew. Sometime last year one of them pre sented to eaeii of the creditors of the linn a check for twenty-five per cent, of the defi ciency which ha)! been relinquished. This week, the other presented in like manner to each creditor a check for a like amount. We mention this circumstance with pride, for it is honorable to the character of human nature. We mention it with pleasure, as an evidence that the industry of the individuals ailuded to has been blessed with a sucess in some degree proportioned to their virtues.— Sndi instances of high-toned morality, are rare, and should be m- t with the approba tion of a virtuous community; for they tend to elevate thechaiacter of society an hund red-fold more than the ostentatious donations to objects of at least doubtful utility, which are frequently mentioned to gratify the vani ty of the donor, and t excite the emulation ol the weak-minded. Wc wish that vve were at liberty to mention the names of these gen tlemen ; but we know that they would shrink I from such a blazon; they know that thev have been honest, and “would blush to find it fame." We have been favored with the perusal of a manuscript journal, kept by a sailor during voyage to the North West Coast of Ameri ca, in the brig ,of Boston. It is a diarv of what ho saw and experienced, hastily writ ten at his leisure moments, and not with tiic most distant intention of its ever appearin'* in print. lie describes what he saw with the enthusiasm of a youthful mind, eager in the pursuit of knowledge, but not whli the pre cision of a mere and learned practised writer. Wc give below two extracts from his journal, as a specimen of his manner and matter, and propose hereafter to make other and more co pious ones. His statementstnay he relied on as correct, and we believe they wiil be read with no little interest, both by the landsman, and he whose “home is on the mighty ocean.” In introducing the young sailor’s “lof; book” to the notice of our readers, we deem it a duty to state that it was a young man’s j first voyage, .and his convenience and leisure! such as is usually found m the forecastle of a merchant ship—his kimcs frequently serv ing lor a desk, and a seaman’s chest for a seat.— Barnstable Journal. Juan Fernandez, —This island was the first land we made after leaving Boston, and 1 can truly say, that no land ever appeared so pleasant to inc before. It must have been owing to the great length of time I had been, for the first time in my life, on the hoistc? i ous ocean, as the general appearance of the island is sterile and mountainous, with the exception of a valley, the same on which Alexander Selkirk lived, on whose adventure! the popular story of Robinson Crusoe was | founded. It appears more like the garden of j Eden, than any place I ever before saw or heard of. This valley is surround), dby high,! steepaml craggy mo'iirftatns, which form a 1 noble contrast to the garden ,he low, through whose openings the wind often comes, sweep-! ing with the violence of a tornado, and. tbrea-j ening destruction to ships tiiat lie in the j bay. This valley is a level space of eleven or more acres, covered with rich looking' grass that denotes a fertile soil; while fruit f trees are so t hick as to form a beautiful shade, j through which vines o.r rose bushes of vari-; ous kinds, and flow ers of all colors, seem to strive which shall inherit the largest share of the bowers formed bv their own weaving, among the peach, cherry, and figtrecs.— j These were thronged with singing birds, ■ whose musical notes nearly transport the ob server to the upper regions, while beneath all these beauties of nature a soft murmuring ri vulet is heard, gently rippling by.

I was nearly tempted to run away from our bog, and reside at this place.— When we were there only one American and six Spaniards were inhabitants —but I have since learned that a company have gone out to make a settlement on this island. lt will be recollected that, a few weeks ago, wo noticed the fact of a Commission hav ing been appointed by the King of the French, to visit thiscountry with the view of acquir ing an intimate knowledge of the System of Prison Discipline practised in the United States. M. de Beaumont and M. de Tor queville, the distinguished gentlemen com posing the Commission, have spent the last two weeks at this place, and after a most la borious and careful inspection of the prison here, its construction, its order, cleanliness, discipline, and regularity, together with a strict investigation into all *he juinutke of its government and operation, wc are gratified with the opportunity of stating that they arc ■ highly plcase.d with the institution, and do not hesitate to pronounce it superior inany of its branches, to any which they have ever visi ted in Europe.
